hendecasyllabics is a quantitative accentual-syllabic Greek line eleven syllables long made up of a trochee or spondee, a dactyl, and three trochees, or two trochees and a spondee, in that order. […] In hendecasyllabics the dactyl is always the second foot in classical poems.
Lewis Turco The Book of Forms s. v. hendecasyllabics
